Over €150,0000 has been allocated to Kerry under the 2016 REDZ or Rural Economic Development Zones scheme.
The funding is for Killorglin and Killarney, and will be used for MacGillycuddy Reeks habitat restoration and trail repair, and supervision of participants.
It’s part of a €5.3 million funding allocation nationwide by Minister Heather Humphreys under the REDZ scheme, which aims to stimulate economic development in rural towns and their hinterlands; it’s being welcomed by Kerry Fine Gael TD, Brendan Griffin.
